The Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, April 16, 1891
Isaac N. Morris, son of A. J. and Elizabeth Morris, died November 10, 1890, aged 22 years, 10 months and 29 days. He was born in Monroe county near Graysville; died while crossing the Ohio river in a skiff opposite Moundsville, W. Va., where he had been sent for mail by the company of civil engineers of the C. & P. R. R., of which he was an employe. He went there last spring from his home near Sycamore Valley where he was beloved by his companions and respected by all who knew him. He was always a good moral boy, an obedient son, a kind brother and a trusty friend.
His body was first brought home and afterwards followed by a large concourse of people to the church, where his funeral discourse was delivered by Rev. J. Dunn. Afterwards it was laid in the Hartshorn cemetery there to lay till the final awakening.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given
And though his body moulders here
The soul is safe in heaven.
